For those who don't know, the numeric id of the

you wanted create a special group called 'realtime'. That would make sense
if you were also doing non-audio things that needed realtime priveleges, such
as microsurgery.
CD burning also wants mlock() and SCHED_FIFO, and will be more reliable
if you add those users to the realtime group.
